Since yesterday’s update, whenever I try to touch the address bar to enter in something (anything at all), it flashes for a bit and doesn’t do anything. It’ll show the search engine and go back to its usual state. I’ve never had this issue before.

I’ve tried redownloading the app on my iPad (Silicon iPad from 2022. Firefox and my iPad are at the latest version.), but nothing’s worked.

I’m out of options. Can anyone help?

Frequently, when reading on Firefox on my phone, portions of text will appear as if they aren't there until I select a portion of them. This includes cutting off in the middle of a word and also only cutting off the top portion of words. Text can disappear for multiple lines. The only extension I have is Ublock Origin, but the problem persists even when it is disabled.

So I got directed here after leaving an unfavourable review due to an ongoing issue that google had no answers for. The screenshot should show the problem. I don't not know what causes it, only that it feels random when it breaks. Cashe/data clearing doesn't help, only a full reinstall seems to fix it, but this gets annoying pretty quick. The issue is search boxes on websites become black, and the text looks weird. The only add-on I use is UBlock, and when I left the review, the app broke after just an hour after being reinstalled, before I even installed UBlock.

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S20Ultra if that helps, though I'm due for an update, and haven't had the time to sort it.

Around 3 years ago, I made a request to bring back Firefoxs amazing image toggling feature to allow users to toggle on and off images while browsing the web.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1303546#answer-1348088

Some may think the only purpose of this feature is to save data and that is a good reason. But it has other uses as well. The internet can be triggering, it can be overstimulating. A power user can take control of that, and honestly, after my thread from 3 years ago was closed, the last word was, "Due to your request, The Team has decided to add this permissions (images, web fonts, javascript) somewhere around the end of this year."

It was even put on github as an issue to work on. https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/11460

But 3 years later, here we are. Still no Images selection in the Permissions menu.

I'm back asking for it again. I'm tired of using Opera mobile as the only mobile browser that has this feature. I want to come back to Firefox. And if someone won't do it, please point me in the direction for how I myself can alter this open source software so that I can add this old feature back.

In the past, I could search for a business and the green phone would pop up on it and I could push it and it would open in my call/dial pad. Now it won't. When you click on it in the android mobile version it initially seems like it wants to load but immediately stops and does nothing. Am fully updates, full permissions, and cache/cookies cleaned since this started. Is there any other settings I should be looking at?

Recent update introduced the possibility to view PDF directly in-browser, no need to download them. Unfortunately the "font viewing" is nice only when you just leave the font size setting to 100%. If you either set going size to e.g. 130% or set to adapt the font size to Android setting in Firefox setting, you get a very bad PDF viewing, with mangled fonts and character overlapped each other

Hi community,

I have a Pixel 8 Pro and not sure if this has been a recent issue since the December update when I click on a phone number or dial icon I expect to end up on Google dialer but for some reason it just loads for a sec and nothing happens. This works fine on other browsers like Chrome and Vivaldi, is there a setting to tweak otherwise I had copy the number or use another browser.

The new user interface for IOS is insanely hard to use. I have an IPhone 12 mini, and recently the interface changed from one that had a large search bar at the bottom of the screen with bigger buttons and easier access. Now, it’s just one tiny row with no search bar on screen, making me either get rid of the tab or open a whole new one to search. The buttons are also ways smaller. I haven’t seen any way to get rid of this new UI and I’m not sure if i’m the only one having the issue.
